[Scan-DC] Anyone know who uses 462.5000 [ d155]?

[Doug Kitchener]

Affirm.  Riderwood Village is a retirement community on the Montgomery/PG County line off Cherry Hill Road near Calverton and Maryland Farms.  (My folks moved there about 4 years ago - Dad died a year ago but Mom still lives there - in fact, I've just come from there.)  The street name is Gracefield Road.  There are 15 or 20 apartment buildings there and they all have names like King's Court, Calvert Landing etc... there are 4 "clubhouse" type buildings there where the dining rooms are located, Montgomery Station, Village Square, Town Center and I forget the other one... the addresses run from 3110 to 3160 or something like that.  Only two of the buildings are actually in Montgomery County but the whole place carries a Silver Spring MD address.  They have 3 frequencies... 452.5, 462.225, and 
462.5.  The first is used by their Security and there's also a cab company (I forget which one) on that one, the second is maintenance I think, and the 3rd is housekeeping.  About 3000 people live there.
